Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1922 coin was minted during a time when France was experiencing a shortage of metal resources, particularly copper and nickel, which were traditionally used to mint coins. To address this issue, the French government decided to mint coins using aluminum, a relatively new material at the time, which was lighter and less expensive than traditional metals. As a result, the 5 Centimes 1922 coin was made of aluminum, making it one of the first coins in France to be minted using this material.
